He'd be perfect, perhaps, if he showed any signs of being a competent PL manager.

Aye. At least one of those was blatantly behind the parody twitter account too (or at least feeding info to it).

Aye, I heard it last night. It's funny how whenever Downton, Strauss or any of the players have been pressed on the specifics of what the problem are, not one of them (ignoring older issues, pre-'rehabilitation', as it were) has been able to give a straight answer.

As CT says: It's going to be bloody.

Much like CT with politics / football / haute cuisine Anyway, I thought you said it was a bit shit, or words to that effect.

Played a few times but KCG said Nigel Clough so I was scouring my brains, to no avail, for another striker. Says a lot about why so few good English coaches come through btw.

Well you aren't arsed about cricket really, are you? So it's a given.

0.073.

Aye. Future Tory MP.

Think the country badly needs electoral reform (and I thought that before the election). Can't see the Tories (or Labour) going for it as it would be Turkeys voting for Xmas. The FPTP system is so unfair and undemocratic. Apart from UKIP, the Greens (and even the Lib Dems) having so little to show for all their votes, it's ridiculous that the election is decided by such a small amount of people (in relative terms) in another relatively small amount of constituencies. Absolutely no appetite for it in the press either. Not that sure the electorate are ever going to get excited enough about the prospect of PR for it to happen any time soon either. I don't class AV as PR really. The Lib Dems really did sell themselves short there.

I wish it were that simple but I just don't see it. The only way to get back what he invested is to get the club back up I reckon. Catch 22.

I don't think I'm ever going to find out. Way, way down the list of places I'd like to visit.

The Japanese have been doing it for years. The coach tour thing where you all get off at one place for about 20 minutes that is. No idea if they shit outdoors too. As you allude to, it seems particularly daft when it's the sort of place where there's scenery and tranquility to take in. Just doing the been there, done that thing, as you say. Completely pointless.

Aye, sounds amazing. I think, basically, we have nothing in common

Apart from a few notable exceptions you, with your encyclopedic knowledge of all things NUFC, seem to have overlooked, Ginola was moved on by Dalglish, who didn't rate him.

I know I share mine with Franz Beckenbauer

Gay IRA communists tbs

Labour really need to take the advice of people like CT.

I tried to sort of rationalise my feelings about this but football is emotional (for me, at least) and being rational doesn't really come into it. I've discovered I really want us to stay up.
